This was a great place to stay for a group of 5. Plenty of room for everyone! We loved that it was just a 1/4 mile from the beach so we didn’t have to mess with parking. Loved the use of the wagon! Felt very safe. True to the pictures.

Nice place in the middle of a neighborhood in Galveston. Close access to Pleasure Pier and several of the restaurants on Seawall Blvd. Surprising amount of space upstairs and downstairs, with a number of hide-a-beds throughout. We also liked the fenced-in yard and gate access to the entry stairs.

The house was clean, comfortable, and close to walking distance of the beach. We greatly enjoyed our stay. When we found the dryer not working, it was very easy to contact the property manager and let them know.

Hello Rachel, thank you for your kind review! We're so glad the house provided plenty of space and comfort for you, your husband, and your grandsons during your week-long stay. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the kitchen, made use of the washer and dryer, and took advantage of the convenient location. We appreciate your feedback about the stairs and will keep that in mind for future improvements. We'd love to host you again anytime you're back in the area!
Awesome location with an easy walk to the beach, dog park, dining/activities, and pleasure pier! Had a comfortable stay with plenty of room for our group (5 adults, 2 kids). Had plenty of towels, beach towels, extra pillows/blankets. Fenced in entry stairs and a locked gate made us feel extra safe in a safe neighborhood. Had a couple of minor issues which we communicated with the host with responsive return communication, other than that, we had a great stay!

This house is adorable! All the little details are super cute. Its a great space for families. They even had board games and puzzles. Plenty of space for everyone. 2 living areas! Amazing walk in shower! Convenient charging station for all the devices. Plenty of towels and bed linens. Extra blankets. It is located on a very busy road so the traffic noise was a bit loud at times. Walking distance to Pleasure Pier. We will definitely be back!
